The land is flat and floods with frequent rains. The cemetery is fairly well maintained, but weather conditions have destroyed some grave vaults. There are many unmarked and unreadable graves here. Many of the graves have sunk completely out of sight. Directions: Rt. 13 south from Salisbury, to Rt. 413 to Crisfield. Turn Right onto Rt. 361 to Manokin. Church is on the left. I will start at the rear of the property, closest to the dirt lane and proceed toward the church. 1. Henrietta Goodwin 1912-1963 2. Molly C. Fontaine 1923-1961 3. Malcha A. Maddox 1915-1960 4.
